The Shields of Sanctuary
A knight order run by Captain Alexandre Dawnseeker Svapanor that is dedicated to the domestic defense of their home, Sanctuary.
Functioning much like traditional knights, the Shields swear an oath to the preservation of the cause of Sanctuary and its people, as well as any other values that would warrant swearing oneself into the fold. Ultimately, the oath itself is modular to the individual, while the function of the order remains consistent.
The Shields will have their focus on protecting their people, acting as vanguards and bodyguards for those in need of Sanctuary, and as the Captain himself is a skilled exorcist, holy magic tutelage is offered as a perk of joining. Likewise, preserving the well-being of their people may involve skill in medicine. Just as well, members of the Shields are encouraged to learn either under the Captain or otherwise to obtain at least a basic understanding of first aid and combat medicine.
Towering suits of thick armor with even thicker shields.
Crafty, roguish anti-heroes with a love for community.
Physicians of all sorts and magical backgrounds (except for Witchcraft and Necromancy).
Holy knights and mages not dedicated to a god, but to a people. YOUR people.
These demographics and more are welcome, and there is always active recruitment. Seek ranks Captain and above of the Sword of Sanctuary if you're interested, if not Alexandre himself.
